TO  THE  MEDICAL  PROFESSION. 


IN  presenting  this  revised  edition  of  our  Catalogue, 
we  desire  to  express  our  thanks  to  our  numerous 
medical  friends  for  their  kind  and  liberal  patronage 
during  the  past  thirty  years,  which,  whilst  it  has 
encouraged  us,  and  has  contributed  much  to  our  suc- 
cess, has  also  convinced  us  that  our  efforts  to  pro- 
duce preparations  of  uniform  and  reliable  quality 
only  have  been  appreciated.  As  it  will  be  our  con- 
stant aim  in  the  future  to  pursue  the  same  course, 
keeping  pace  with  the  advance  of  science,  we  hope 
to  merit  the  continuance  of  the  confidence  and  favors 
of  the  Medical  Profession. 

We  desire  to  call  attention  to  numerous  additions 
to  our  list  of  Fluid,  Solid  and  Powdered  Extracts, 
and  other  pharmaceutical  preparations,  and  specially 
to  our  complete  list  of 

Soluble  Hypodermic  Tablets, 

Granular  Effervescent  Salts, 

Compressed  Lozenges  and  Tablets, 
Soluble  Gelatin-Coated  and 

Sugar-Coated  Pills  and  Granules, 

comprising  all  the  officinal  and  many  other  well- 
known  favorite  formulse.i

PREFACE. 


FLUID  EXTRACTS,  many  of  which  are  officinal, 
are  universally  acknowledged  to  be  most  de- 
sirable preparations,  presenting,  when  properly  pre- 
pared, the  active  principles  of  the  various #drugs  in 
a concentrated  form,  avoiding  the  contamination  of 
much  of  the  inert  vegetable  matter  on  the  one  hand, 
and  too  much  menstruum  on  the  other.  Our  long 
and  extensive  experience,  and  the  scrupulous  care 
we  take  in  the  selection  of  genuine  drugs  of  prime 
quality,  as  well  as  in  every  step  of  the  process  of 
preparing  the  Extracts  from  these  materials,  are  a 
guarantee  of  the  efficacy  and  reliability  of  our  Fluid 
Extracts. 

Among  the  Fluid  Extracts  will  be  found  a number 
of  new  remedies  which  have  lately  attracted  consid- 
erable attention,  their  properties  having  been  ex- 
tolled in  the  most  emphatic  manner  by  various 
writers  in  the  medical  journals.  They  will  appear, 
with  statement  of  their  medical  properties  and  doses, 
in  the  regular  alphabetical  list  of  Fluid  Extracts. 

It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  state  that  the  same  care 
is  bestowed  upon  the  manufacture  of  Solid  and  Pow- 
dered Extracts  and  all  other  preparations  manufac- 
tured by  us. 


6 PREFACE. 

We  call  particular  attention  to  the  various  Elixirs 
prepared  by  us,  which  have  become  quite  favorite 
remedies  with  the  Medical  Profession,  and  are  in  very 
extensive  use.  These  Elixirs  have  the  advantage 
of  presenting  the  medicinal  agent  they  contain  in  a 
most  palatable  form,  whilst  we  have  the  testimony 
of  many  eminent  physicians  of  their  efficacy.  The 
exact  quantities  of  the  remedial  agents  contained 
in  each  of  them  will  be  found  under  their  several 
heads,  and  although  their  composition  will  no  doubt 
suggest  to  the  physician  a varied  application,  we 
have  not  deemed  it  forestalling  his  judgment  in 
naming  some  of  the  diseases  in  which  they  have 
been  found  especially  useful. 

Gelatin-Coated  and  Sugar-Coated  Pills 
and  Granules,  of  which  we  prepare  a full  line, 
are  another  elegant  form  of  administering  medicines. 
These  pills  are  prepared  under  our  own  immediate 
supervision  with  the  utmost  care,  and,  considering 
the  many  years  they  have  been  prescribed  by  phy- 
sicians in  all  parts  of  the  country  with  great  efficacy, 
it  is  almost  superfluous  to  say  that  their  component 
drugs  are  of  the  best  quality,  while  the  dose  and 
subdivision  is  perfectly  accurate.  The  coating  of 
white  sugar,  or  that  of  gelatin,  which  dissolves  in  a 
few  minutes,  is  not  only  unobjectionable,  but  both 
enables  the  patient  to  swallow  nauseous  medicines 
without  tasting  them,  and  at  the  same  time  effectually 
protects  the  pills  from  deterioration  on  being  kept, 
by  excluding  the  air  from  the  mass.  This  fact  is

forcibly  demonstrated,  for  instance,  in  the  various 
pills  containing  Phosphorus,  which,  even  after  being 
kept  for  a long  time,  will,  on  being  cut  open,  at  once 
show  the  unchanged  Phosphorus  in  a fine  state  of 
division,  whilst  the  same  pills,  unprotected  by  a 
sugar-coating  or  gelatin-coating,  will  soon  have  all 
their  Phosphorus  converted  into  Phosphorus  Acid 
by  oxidation. 

Our  Soluble  Hypodermic  Tablets  contain  the 
purest  alkaloids,  are  of  accurate  strength,  and  com- 
bined with  a neutral  and  unirritating  base  which 
renders  them  instantly  soluble. 

Our  Granular  Effervescing-  Salts  will  be 
found  a delightful  addition  to  the  resources  of  the 
physician.  Aside  from  their  medicinal  properties, 
they  are  a pleasant  beverage,  and  will  be  found  of 
great  service  where  the  remedy,  in  its  ordinary  state, 
could  not  be  tolerated  by  the  patient.

Fluid  Extracts. 


The  following  list  comprises  all  the  Officinal  and  other  Stand- 
ard Fluid  Extracts , including  also  many  new  remedies  recently 
brought  before  the  medical  profession  in  the  various  medical 
journals. 

We  are  confident  that  a trial  of  our  Extracts  will  convince 
our  patrons  of  their  perfect  reliability,  the  utmost  care  being 
observed  in  selecting  drugs  of  the  best  quality , and  every  detail 
of  their  manufacture  being  conducted  with  skill  and  care  by 
the  most  approved  methods , so  as  to  secure  a thorough  repre- 
sentation of  all  medicinal  properties  of  the  respective  drugs  in 
an  unchanged  condition.

Medical  properties  same  as  above.  Dose,  1 to  2 drops. 

ADONIS  VERNALIS.  False  Hellebore. 

Adonis  Vernalis  owes  its  activity  to  a glucoside,  “Adoni- 
din,”  recently  discovered,  the  physiological  action  of 
which  seems  to  be  identical  with  that  of  Digitalin.  It  is 
employed  in  dropsy  and  heart  disease.  Dr.  Bubnow,  of 
St.  Petersburg,  who  experimented  with  the  drug,  pre- 
fers it  to  Digitalis  in  organic  heart  disease,  and  found 
that  it  was  not  cumulative  in  its  action.  Dose,  3 to  5 
drops,  cautiously  increased. 

AGARIC — (Boletus  Laricis.)

Surgical  Journal,  January  12,  1888,  says  experiments 
prove  that  in  ordinary  doses  Arnica  Root  slows  the 
pulse  by  stimulating  the  pneumogastric  nerves,  increas- 
ing the  fulness  of  each  pulse- wave  and  also  slightly  the 
arterial  pressure.  This  increased  arterial  pressure  is

STANDARD 


Assayed  Fluid  Extracts, 

REPRESENTING 

One  Gramme  of  the  Drug*  of  Assayed  Standard 
Quality  in  Each  Cubic  Centimeter. 


This  Special  List  of  Assayed  Fluid  Extracts  includes  notably 
those  which  owe  their  activity  mainly  to  the  presence  of  an 
alkaloid  or  alkaloids , and  can  be  standardized  by  assay  to  a 
definite  percentage  of  this  alkaloid.  We  also  include  in  this 
list  a few  fluid  extracts  depending  on  the  presence  of  a definite 
quantity  of  Resin  as  their  active  constituent. 

The  assaying  of  these  drugs  is  by  no  means  a new  feature 
with  us , as  we  have  for  many  years  resorted  to  assays  of  the 
alkaloidal  strength  of  the  more  important  ones , at  least , as  one 
of  the  most  reliable  means  of  determining  their  quality  in  se- 
lecting the  drugs,  and  thus  securing  efficacy  and  uniformity  of 
strength  in  our  Extracts. 

We  omit  such  fluid  extracts  as  of  Rhubarb,  Ergot,  and  of 
other  drugs , the  active  properties  of  which  are  not  known  to 
reside  in  any  special  proximate  principle  or  principles , and  as 
an  arbitrary  standard , such  as  the  determination  of  the  per- 
centage of  solid  residuum  obtained  from  the  extract  by  evapo- 
ration, would  not  indicate  the  quality  of  the  drug  from  which 
the  fluid  extract  is  made ; for  instance,  a very  poor  article  of 
Rhubarb  would  furnish  as  much  solid  residuum  as  the  finest 
quality  of  the  drug.  In  the  selection  of  these  drugs,  however, 
the  well-known  physical  properties  of  a standard  article  as 
described  in  the  Pharmacopoeia  and  other  authorities  on 
Materia  Medica  furnish  equally  good  and  reliable  criterions 
to  judge  of  their  quality,  and  drugs  selected  with  care  and 
judgment  in  this  respect  cannot  fail  to  produce  efficacious  and 
reliable  extracts. 

As  long  experience  and  a thorough  knowledge  of  our  calling 
enable  us  to  judge  intelligently  of  the  quality  of  drugs,  and  as 
we  conscientiously  use  and  have  always  used  the  most  scrupu- 
lous care  in  the  selection  of  drugs  of  standard  quality  for  our 
preparations,  as  well  as  in  every  step  in  the  manufacture  of 
these  preparations,  we  feel  confident  our  Extracts  cannot  be 
excelled  for  efficacy  and  reliability,  which  fact  is  no  doubt 
known  to  all  who  have  tried  them. 


50  ASSAYED  FLUID  EXTRACTS. 


ACONITE  ROOT. 

Standard,  0.75  alkaloid.  10  cc.  of  this  Fluid  Extract  re- 
quire for  complete  precipitation  of  alkaloid  5.6  cc.  of 
Mayer’s  Solution,  Normal  1-20.  The  Extract  also  answers 
to  the  physiological  test  of  Dr.  Squibb. 

BELLADONNA  LEAVES. 

Standard,  0.4  per  cent.  Atropine.  10  cc.  of  the  Fluid  Ex- 
tract require  6.2  cc.  of  Mayer’s  Solution  N.  1-20  for  com- 
plete precipitation.  The  alkaloid  may  also  be  separated 
by  agitating  10  cc.  of  the  Extract,  after  addition  of  a little 
Ammonia,  with  successive  portions  of  Chloroform,  re- 
moving the  alkaloid  from  this  Chloroform  solution  by 
shaking  with  5 per  cent.  Sulphuric  Acid,  rendering  this 
acid  solution  again  alkaline  by  addition  of  Aqua  Ammo- 
nia, and  treating  this  with  successive  portions  of  Chloro- 
form. On  evaporating  the  Chloroform  solution,  the  alka- 
loid, weighing  0.04  gramme,  is  obtained. 

BELLADONNA  ROOT. 

Standard,  0.5  per  cent.  Atropine.  10  cc.  of  the  Fluid  Ex- 
tract require  for  complete  precipitation  7.8  cc.  of  Mayer’s 
Solution  N.  1-20.  The  alkaloid,  obtained  from  10  cc.  of 
the  Fluid  Extract  in  the  same  manner  as  in  Belladonna 
Leaves,  should  weigh  0.05  gramme. 

BLOODROOT. 

Standard,  1 per  cent.  Sanguinarina.  10  cc.  of  this  Fluid 
Extract  require  for  complete  precipitation  9 cc.  of

of  the  extract  evaporated  to  expel  the  Alcohol  after  ad- 
dition of  a little  HC1  and  10  cc.  water,  are  precipitated 
with  Ammonia.  The  precipitate  redissolved  in  Hydro- 
chloric Acid,  and  reprecipitated  with  Ammonia,  is  treated 
with  successive  portions  of  Ether  to  dissolve  the  alkaloid, 
which  latter  is  then  obtained  on  evaporation  of  the 
Ethereal  Solution,  weighing  0.10  gramme. 

CANNABIS  INDICA. 

Standard,  10  per  cent.  Besin.  10  cc.  of  this  Fluid  Extract, 
when  concentrated  and  poured  into  20  cc.  of  water,  will

lution, and  agitate  with  successive  portions  of  20  cc.  each 
of  5 per  cent.  Sulphuric  Acid.  After  rendering  the  mixed 
acid  solutions  strongly  alkaline  with  Ammonia,  shake 
with  successive  portions  of  20  cc.  of  a mixture  of  Ether 
3 vol.,  Chloroform  1 vol.  On  evaporation  of  this  Ether- 
Chloroform  solution,  the  total  alkaloids  are  obtained, 
from  which  the  Quinine  may  be  separated  by  the  process 
given  in  the  U.  S.  P. 

* Prollius’  fluid  is  a mixture  consisting  of  325  cc.  of  Stronger 

Ether,  25  cc.  Alcohol,  10  cc.  Stronger  Water  of  Ammonia.

1 should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  Alcohol  contained 
in  Fluid  Extracts  should  be  driven  off  on  a water-bath , after 
the  addition  of  a little  dilute  acid , before  Mayer's  reagent  is 
applied.

Powdered  Extracts. 

These  powdered  Extracts  are  fully  equal  in  strength  to  the 
pilular  Extracts , and  are  prepared  by  drying  the  latter  at  a 
low  temperature  and  compensating  for  the  loss  of  weight,  caused 
by  the  evaporation  of  moisture,  with  the  respective  powdered 
drugs  and  in  some  instances  with  powdered  Sugar  of  Milk,  thus 
bringing  the  powdered  Extract  again  up  to  the  original  weight 
of  the  pilular  Extract. 

As  these  powdered  Extracts  readily  absorb  moisture , they 
should  invariably  be  kept  securely  corked.

Resinoids. 


The  following  comprises  a list  of  the  proximate  medicinal 
principles  commonly  known  as  Resinoids  or  Concentrations. 
Whilst  some  of  these  represent  a pure  resin  and  others  an  im- 
pure alkaloid , by  far  the  greater  number  are  a combination 
of  the  various  active  proximate  principles  contained  in  the 
drug  which  they  represent. 

Owing  to  the  liability  of  these  preparations  to  absorb 
moisture , they  should  be  kept  securely  closed  and  in  a cool 
place.

into  their  composition  being  of  the  hest  quality,  the  quan- 
tities and  proportions  being  invariably  as  represented 
on  the  labels,  and  the  excipients  used  to  make  the  masses 
having  been  carefully  chosen,  in  each  case,  to  make  the  Pill 
perfectly  soluble  in  the  fluids  of  the  stomach  and 
bowels,  we  feel  confident  that  the  full  medicinal  effect  will 
always  be  produced  by  them  when  administered,  whilst  the 
coating  will  be  found  very  soluble  and  not  excelled  by 
any  other  in  point  of  beauty  and  finish.

A combination  introduced  by  us  and  found  in  practice  to 
possess  superior  advantages  over  other  similar  formulae. 
The  well-known  mild  action  of  Aloin  on  the  lower  portion 
of  the  intestinal  canal,  and  its  power  of  stimulating  the 
hepatic  functions  (Rutherford  & Vignal),  is  supplemented 
by  the  action  of  Ipecac  as  a stomachic  tonic  and  by  in- 
creasing tlje  gastric  secretions  (Bartholow) ; the  Belladonna 


GELATIN-COATED  AND  SUGAR-COATED  PILLS.

acts  specially  upon  the  involuntary  muscular  fibres  of  the 
bowels,  increasing  peristalsis,  diminishing  the  harshness  and 
at  the  same  time  increasing  the  effectiveness  of  the  laxative. 
The  general  tonic  effect  of  Strychnine  upon  the  stomach 
and  bowels  and  its  direct  action  upon  the  sympathetic  make 
it  a valuable  addition  in  the  permanent  cure  of  habitual  con- 
stipation and  atonic  dyspepsia. 

This  brief  statement  of  the  physiological  action  of  the  in- 
gredients of  these  pills  is  amply  borne  out  by  practical 
experience.  They  have  been  found  to  act  most  kindly  and 
effectively  by  thousands  of  practitioners.  So  remarkable 
and  uniform  has  been  the  efficacy  of  these  pills,  that  we  feel 
assured  that  they  will  continue  to  sustain  the  high  reputa- 
tion now  established. 

They  recommend  themselves  to  the  patient  by  their  minute 
size  and  their  tastelessness,  being  coated  with  gelatin  or 
with  pure  sugar,  while  they  are  perfectly  soluble. 

We  guarantee  the  quality  of  the  ingredients  and  their 
proper  subdivision,  and  can  safely  recommend  the  Lapactic 
Pills  as  an  efficient  agent. 

Since  we  first  called  attention  to  our  Lapactic  Pills — 
some  four  years  ago — publishing  the  composition  of 
the  same,  a number  of  manufacturers  have  adopted 
the  same  formula  and  have  furnished  these  pills  under 
the  same  name.  Should  Physicians  fail  to  obtain  satis- 
factory results  from  Lapactic  Pills  not  of  our  make 
(and  we  have  received  a large  number  of  such  com- 
plaints from  physicians  by  letter),  we  shall  be  glad  to 
furnish  a sample  of  our  Lapactic  Pills  on  application. 
We  feel  confident  that  they  will  fully  substantiate 
our  claims. 

Please  use  the  term  “LAPACTIC  PILLS,  S.  & D.’s,” 
when  prescribing  these  pills.  Dose One  to  two  pills  on 
going  to  bed.

GRANULAR  EFFERVESCENT  SALTS. 


Ill 


GEANULAE  EFFEEVESCENT  SALTS. 


Among  the  many  improvements  and  advances  in  the  beauty 
andpalatability  of  pharmaceutical  preparations,  these  delight- 
ful effervescent  salts  stand  pre-eminent.  Not  only  is  the 
remedy  presented  in  a form  that  will  not  offend  the  most 
fastidious  palate , but  it  is  given  in  a perfectly  soluble  state , so 
as  to  develop  its  peculiar  properties  and  virtues  in  the  shortest 
possible  time. 


AMMONIUM  BROMIDE. 

This  salt  resembles  the  Potassium  Bromide  in  its  physio- 
logical powers,  except  that  it  is  less  depressing-  and,  it  is 
claimed,  will  not  produce  bromism.  Each  drachm  or 
heaping  teaspoonful  contains  2 grains  of  Ammonium 
Bromide.  Dose,  heaping  tea-  or  tablespoonful. 

BISMUTH  CITRATE. 

Combining  the  sedative  qualities  of  the  Bismuth  upon 
the  gastric  surface  with  solubility.  Each  drachm  con- 
tains 2 grains  Ammon.  Citrate  of  Bismuth.  Dose,  1 to  2 
teaspoonfuls. 

CAFFEINE  CITRATE. 

Representing  the  active  principle  of  Coffee,  Tea  and 
Cfuarana  in  a most  elegant  form.  Acts  promptly  in  nerv- 
ous headache,  nervous  depression  and  exhaustion.  Each 
drachm  contains  1 grain  Caffeine  Citrate.  Dose,  dessert- 
spoonful. 

CAFFEINE  HYDROBROMATE. 

A most  valuable  remedy  and  potent  addition  to  the  re- 
sources of  the  practitioner.  Caffeine,  the  active  principle 
of  coffee,  tea  and  guarana,  is  one  of  the  best  of  nervous 
stimulants,  producing  a sense  of  mental  and  bodily  vigor. 
Bromine,  combined  as  hydrobromic  acid,  allays  undue 
excitement  of  the  nervous  system.  In  practice  the  com- 
bination of  the  two  has  produced  most  beneficial  results. 
Headache  from  various  causes,  such  as  fatigue,  over- 
exertion of  mind,  disordered  stomach,  nervous  depression 
or  anxiety,  and  the  periodical  headaches  of  ladies,  are  all 
promptly  relieved  by  its  use.  Sick  headache  is  relieved 


112  GRANULAR  EFFERVESCENT  SALTS. 


in  a short  time.  The  nervous  prostration  following-  the 
excessive  use  of  alcoholic  stimulants  or  of  narcotics  as 
opium,  morphine  or  chloral,  is  rapidly  alleviated.  De- 
pression of  spirits  and  nervous  irritability  g-enerally  are 
soon  mitigated.  Physicians  will  find  this  preparation 
very  acceptable  to  their  patients.  Each  drachm  contains 
1 grain  Hydrobromate  of  Caffeine.  Dose,  1 heaping  tea- 
or  tablespoonful,  repeated  in  half  an  hour  if  necessary. 


CAFFEINE  HYDROBROM.  AND  POTASSIUM  BRO-

1 grain  Caffeine  Hydrobrom.  and  10  grains  Potassium 
Bromide.  Dose,  1 to  2 heaping  teaspoonfuls.

MIDE. 

Properties  and  dose  same  as  above.  Each  drachm  con- 
tains 1 grain  Caffeine  Hydrobrom.  and  5 grains  Sodium

To  imitate  the  natural  water,  dissolve  1 heaping  tea- 
spoonful in  a tumbler  of  water;  1 tablespoonful  of  the 
salt  acts  as  an  energetic  purgative.

The  efficient  remedy  for  vomiting  in  pregnancy ; useful

of  the  remedy  is  increased  by  the  carbonic  acid  gas 
evolved  during  effervescence.  Each  drachm  contains 
2 grains  Nitrate  of  Cerium.  Dose,  1 heaping  teaspoonful. 


CERIUM  OXALATE. 

Same  therapeutic  properties  as  preceding ; same  dose.

tumbler  of  water  forms  an  agreeable  and  refreshing 
draught,  representing  the  properties  of  the  famous  Con- 
gress Spring  at  Saratoga. 

CRAB  ORCHARD  SALT. 

Prepared  according  to  an  accurate  analysis  of  the  purified 
natural  salt  obtained  from  Crab  Orchard  Springs,  Ken- 
tucky, and  presenting  that  favorite  saline  aperient  in  a

The  very  important  improvements  consist  of  the  movable 
cap  a,  which  opens  the  entire  calibre  of  the  barrel  and  aHows 
the  easy  introduction  of  our  soluble  tablets,  and  a solution 
for  immediate  use  is  readily  made  by  adding  10  m.  water. 
Then  the  solid  and  securely  fastened  wing-plate  affords  a 
firm  hold  and  perfect  command  of  the  syringe,  and  a simple 
but  effectual  arrangement  for  expanding  and  tightening  the 
plunger,  which  will  prevent  it  from  ever  becoming  loose. 

In  the  syringe  furnished  in  the  Morocco  Case  No.  1,  Metal 
Case  No.  2,  and  Flexible  Case  No.  4,  the  plunger  is  expanded 
by  turning  the  piston  rod  to  the  left.  The  reverse  takes 
place  on  turning  to  the  right. 

In  the  syringe  furnished  in  the  Metal  Case  No.  3,  explicit 
directions  regarding  the  plunger-expanding  arrangement 
(which  is  different  from  the  syringes  furnished  in  Nos.  1,  2 
and  4 Cases)  accompany  each  syringe. 

Our  syringes  are  packed  either  in  an  oblong  leather-covered

HYPODERMIC  MEDICATION. 


126 


A BRIEF  SUMMARY  OF  HYPODERMIC  MEDI- 
CATION, AND  ITS  ADVANTAGES. 


Hypodermic  medication  has  been  used  now  for  about 
twenty-five  years— a period  sufficient  to  thoroughly  test  its 
value  and  uses,  and  to  bring  the  performance  of  it  to  a high 
state  of  efficiency  and  accuracy.  The  following  very  brief 
and  condensed  account  is  offered  in  the  hope  that  it  will  be 
found  of  use  to  the  busy  practitioner,  and  may  prove  sugges- 
tive in  some  emergency  when  time  does  not  allow  the  con- 
sultation of  some  more  elaborate  treatise.  To  those  who 
desire  more  fully  to  enter  into  this  subject,  the  full  and 
comprehensive  work  of  Prof.  Roberts  Bartholow,  4 edit.  1882, 
will  give  information  up  to  that  date. 

The  advantages  of  administering  remedies  by  this  method 
are : 1st.  A more  prompt  and  speedy  effect  is  produced ; in- 
deed, the  effects  of  active  remedies  thrown  into  the  connec- 
tive tissue  under  the  skin  are  perceived  almost  instanta- 
neously. (In  this  connection , it  would  be  well  to  bear  in  mind 
the  advice  of  Prof.  Dujardin-Beaumetz,  of  Paris , France. 
He  states  that  in  cases  of  nephritic  disease , all  medicines  given 
by  the  mouth , and  much  more  so  when  given  hypodermically , 
are  apt  to  show  greater  activity  than  usual , and  that  the  phy- 
sician should  be  on  his  guard  in  using  powerful  agents  where 
nephritic  disability  is  suspected  or  ascertained.)  2d.  The  re- 
sults are  more  permanent  and  curative.  In  the  case  of 
neuralgia,  for  example,  remedies  are  often  given  without 
effect,  and  for  some  time,  when  their  hypodermic  use  has 
promptly  wrought  a cure.  A very  simple  explanation  of 
this  is  found  in  the  fact  that  many  remedies  themselves 
undergo  changes  when  brought  in  contact  with  the  gastric 
juice,  and  even  if  not  altered,  their  absorption  is  necessarily 
slow ; consequently  they  do  not  make  that  forcible  impres- 
sion which  is  made  when  they  are  given  hypodermically.  3d. 
Gastric  disturbances  are  avoided.  Remedies  do  not  interfere 
with  a digestion  often  already  enfeebled.  4th,  and  finally, 
remedies  can  be  administered  to  persons  unable  or  unwilling 
to  swallow— as  in  the  case  of  unconsciousness  from  narcotic 
poisons,  persons  with  suicidal  intent,  or  the  mentally  de- 
ranged. 


HYPODERMIC  MEDICATION.

Various  objections  have  been  made  to  this  method ; but 
when  these  are  examined  they  will  be  found  to  depend  on 
imperfect  instruments,  badly  prepared  medicinal  agents,  or 
an  improper  introduction  of  the  medicinal  agent.  1st.  The 
instrument  should  be  kept  clean  and  in  good  working  order  ; 
the  needle-points  sharp  and  free  from  rust.  2d.  The  solution 
for  injection  should  be  freshly  prepared,  and  of  medicinal 
agents  of  undoubted  purity  and  strength.  3d.  The  injection 
must  be  made  under  the  skin  into  the  connective  tissue.  A 
failure  to  observe  one  or  all  of  these  conditions  may  involve 
the  formation  of  abscesses,  or  even  serious  systemic  effects. 
Dangerous  results  have  followed  the  injection  of  some  pow- 
erful remedy  into  a vein,  but  a little  care  on  the  part  of  the 
operator  will  avoid  any  such  accident. 

The  instrument  itself  has  been  made  of  various  materials 
and  modified  in  many  ways  since  its  first  use.  There  is  no 
one  substance  presenting  all  the  qualities  needed  to  form  an 
ideally  perfect  hypodermic  syringe ; the  one  combining- 
most  of  these  qualities  is  glass,  and  its  single  disadvantage 
of  fragility  has  been  successfully  overcome  by  enclosing  the 
glass  barrel  in  a bi-fenestrated  cylinder  of  metal.  An  in- 
strument thus  made  has  the  advantage  of  not  being  acted 
upon  by  any  agents  likely  to  be  used  subcutaneously ; of 
being  transparent  to  allow  of  the  inspection  of  its  contents, 
and  of  being  easily  kept  clean.  The  needles  should  be  of 
finely  tempered  steel,  with  needle-point  and  sharp  cutting 
edges,  so  as  readily  to  pierce  the  integument  without  any 
bruising.  Care  should  be  taken  that  they  are  kept  free  from 
rust,  and  that  the  entire  syringe  is  regularly  cleansed  after 
use  and  before  being  placed  in  its  case.  This  can  be  done  by 
drawing  in  and  forcing  out  several  times  a little  clean  water ; 
unscrewing  the  needle  and  carefully  wiping  the  point  dry 
between  the  fingers ; the  small  quantity  of  sebaceous  matter 
from  the  skin  being  sufficient  to  prevent  it  from  rusting.  A 
fine  wire  should  then  be  inserted  to  keep  the  tube  of  the 
needle  open.  Very  great  improvements  have  lately  been 
added  in  furnishing  what  are  called  wings  to  the  syringe, 
giving  a firm  hold  and  complete  control  of  the  instrument ; 
and  in  making  the  lower  cap  movable,  exposing  the  whole 
calibre  of  the  barrel  and  allowing  the  introduction  of  a tab- 
let, thus  making  a solution  in  the  syringe. 

The  operation  of  injection  is  a very  simple  one.  The  place 
chosen  for  its  performance  is  usually  the  outer  side  of  the 
arm,  but  any  convenient  place  will  answer.  Some  authorities 
prefer  injecting  at  or  near  the  seat  of  pain,  rnflamed  tissues 


HYPODERMIC  MEDICATION. 


128 


and  bony  prominences  should  be  avoided.  The  place' being- 
determined,  a fold  of  loose  skin  is  pinched  up  between  the 
thumb  and  finger  of  the  left  hand.  The  syringe  being  charged, 
the  needle  is  thrust  in  promptly,  penetrating  the  skin.  This 
will  be  recognized  by  the  cessation  of  resistance,  and  the 
point  of  the  needle  will  now  move  freely  in  the  connective 
tissue.  The  needle  should  pass  in  an  inch  or  more.  The 
piston  is  now  slowly  pushed  home,  making  the  injection 
drop  by  drop,  so  that  the  fluid  may  diffuse  itself  in  the 
areolar  tissue  without  rupturing  any  small  vessels  or  the 
fibres  of  the  areolar  tissue.  When  all  has  been  injected, 
withdraw  the  needle  slowly  and  press  the  puncture  with  the 
tip  of  a finger  for  a few  moments  to  prevent  the  escape  of  the 
fluid.  Gentle  friction  with  the  tips  of  the  fingers  disperses 
the  injected  fluid  in  the  cellular  tissue  and  aids  its  prompt 
absorption,  and  also  tends  to  prevent  local  irritation.  In 
cases  of  paralysis,  some  inject  directly  into  a muscle.  Prof. 
Bartholow,  “Hypodermatic  Medication,”  p.  44,  says:  “In 
practising  the  hypodermatic  injection  it  is  important  to  avoid 
puncturing  a vein.  Serious  depression  of  the  powers  of  life, 
fainting,  and  sudden  and  profound  narcotism  have  been  pro- 
duced by  injecting  a solution  of  morphia  directly  into  a 
vein.*  Fatal  collapse  might  be  induced  by  injecting  air  into 
a large  vein  along  with  the  solution.”  This  latter  may  be 
avoided  by  driving  all  the  air  out  of  the  syringe,  after  charg- 
ing it,  by  holding  the  syringe  with  the  needle-point  up  and 
gently  pushing  the  piston  until  a drop  of  fluid  exudes. 

The  active  agent  to  be  injected  subcutaneously  should  be 
in  perfect  solution.  The  solution  itself  should  be  neutral 
(4.  e.  neither  acid  nor  alkaline),  clear  and  free  from  foreign 
matter,  and  not  too  concentrated.  The  difficulty  of  fulfilling 
these  conditions  has  in  the  past  very  materially  hindered 
the  more  general  use  of  this  method  of  treatment.  But  com- 
paratively a very  few  years  ago  many  of  the  alkaloids  were 
to  be  had  only  as  bases,  and  were  more  or  less  insoluble  with- 
out the  addition  of  some  acid,  and  the  slightest  excess  of  the 
latter  caused  intense  local  irritation.  When  this  had  been 
overcome,  after  a clear,  neutral  solution  had  been  made,  it 

* Mr.  J.  Craig  Balfour,  in  the  London  Lancet  for  November  1(M, 
1888,  gives  a test  of  the  occurrence  of  penetration  of  a vein,  which  if 
borne  in  mind  may  prevent  serious  consequences.  It  is  the  instanta- 
neous supervention  of  a prickling  sensation  in  all  parts  of  the  patient"1  s 
surface . Remembering  this  fact  and  making  the  injection  slowly,  the 
needle  may  be  withdrawn  on  its  occurrence  before  any  serious  harm 
ensues . 


HYPODERMIC  MEDICATION.  129 


was  found  impossible  to  preserve  it  in  this  state  for  even  a 
short  time.  It  was  found  that  even  after  a few  days  a solu- 
tion of  morphine  which  had  been  carefully  filtered  and  was 
perfectly  clear  had  become  cloudy.  This  was  owing  to  the 
growth  of  a microscopic  organism,  the  Penicilium ; and  ex- 
perience proved  that  this  not  only  grew  at  the  expense  of 
the  alkaloid,  thus  weakening  the  strength  of  the  solution, 
but  that  it  proved  also  to  be  a local  irritant  when  injected 
into  the  tissues,  resulting  frequently  in  abscess.  From  time 
to  time  various  means  were  devised  to  obviate  this  difficulty, 
but  none  proved  effectual  until  the  soluble  hypodermic 
tablets  were  made.  These,  when  properly  prepared,  solve 
the  problem  most  satisfactorily.  They  should  be  quickly 
and  entirely  soluble,  perfectly  neutral,  and  the  excipient 
combined  with  the  alkaloid  should  be  bland  and  unirritating. 
Made  in  this  manner  they  are  a great  boon  to  the  profession, 
since  they  reduce  the  dose  to  a mathematical  accuracy, 
which  was  formerly  very  often  a matter  of  conjecture,  when 
a solution  had  to  be  carried  about.  The  alkaloid  is  effectually 
preserved  in  the  tablet  from  deterioration,  and  the  latter 
presents  an  accurate  and  definite  dose,  of  which  a solution 
can  be  made  fresh,  and  almost  instantaneously, when  needed. 
Their  portability  and  compactness  are  not  the  least  among 
their  good  qualities.  The  practitioner  can  now  go  armed 
with  a dozen  hypodermic  remedies,  which  will  not  deteri- 
orate by  keeping,  and  which  do  not  occupy  any  more  space 
than  formerly  the  vial  containing  a solution  of  morphine 
alone  did. 

Prof.  Bartholow,  p.  59,  says  : “A  4 hypodermic  tablet  ’ . . . . 
is  conveniently  carried,  and,  as  regards  liability  to  accident, 
is  much  superior  to  any  permanent  solution.  Since  I have 
adopted  the  method  of  extemporaneous  solutions,  I have  not 
had  occur  the  hard  nodules  and  the  points  of  suppuration 
* and  sloughing  which  were  not  infrequent  when  permanent 
solutions  were  employed.” 

Remedies  used  hypodermically  are  much  more  active 
than  when  given  by  the  mouth. 

The  general  rule  is  to  give  one-tliird  less  than  given  by 
the  mouth  to  produce  the  same  impression.  As  some  persons 
exhibit  peculiar  susceptibilities  to  certain  remedies,  it  would 
be  well  to  inject  a small  dose  tentatively  where  the  idiosyn- 
crasy of  the  patient  is  not  known. 


130  HYPODERMIC  MEDICATION. 


APOMORPHEVE  used  hypodermically  is  indispensable 
as  an  emetic  in  cases  of  narcotic  poisoning.  It  acts 
freely  when  all  emetics  given  by  the  mouth  fail.  It  has 
also  been  used  in  capillary  bronchitis  to  free  the  tubes 
of  secretion,  and  in  croup  to  dislodge  the  false  membrane. 

AMYL  NITRITE  is  usually  best  given  by  inhalation,  but 
where  respiration  is  about  ceasing,  as  in  cases  of  angina 
pectoris , chloroform  narcosis , surgical  shock , cholera  as- 
phyxia , etc.,  etc.,  it  may  prove  of  immense  utility  when 
injected  hypodermically. 

ARSENIC  has  been  successfully  used  in  chorea , lympha- 
denoma , enlarged  spleen  and  in  splenic  leucocythemia. 
Excellent  results  have  also  been  obtained  in  chronic  skin 
diseases,  as  psoriasis  and  eczema.  The  best  form  is 
sodium  arseniate,  which  is  less  likely  to  produce  the 
toxic  effects  of  arsenic  than  any  other,  and  is  less 
irritant  locally. 

ATROPINE  is  principally  used  in  combination  with  mor- 
phine, and  as  its  physiological  antagonist.  It  has  been 
used  to  advantage  by  hypodermic  injection  in  acute 
rheumatism  near  the  painful  joint,  in  epilepsy , and  asthma 
with  marked  results.  Seasickness  and  vomiting  of  preg- 
nancy are  relieved  by  it;  the  algid  state  of  cholera; 
diseases  of  the  bladder.  Atropine  is  also  the  antagonist 
to  pilocarpine,  muscarine  and  eserine,  and  may  be  used 
to  combat  the  toxic  effects  of  these,  as  well  as  of  mor- 
phine or  opium.  In  treating  a case  of  poisoning  by 
atropine,  it  should  be  remembered  that  its  effects  on 
the  economy  last  longer  than  those  of  morphine,  so  that, 
in  giving  the  latter  as  an  antidote,  it  may  be  necessary 
to  repeat  the  dose  of  morphine. 

CAFFEINE  has  been  used  in  neuralgia , hysterical  head- 
ache, and  migraine.  Dr.  Anstie  relieved  by  it  the  in- 
somnia attendant  upon  chronic  alcoholism  without 
delirium.  It  has  also  been  used  with  success  against 
opium  narcosis. 

CARBOLIC  ACID  used  hypodermically  as  a 2 per  cent, 
solution  has  produced  excellent  results  in  erysipelas , 
and  in  other  diseases  supposed  to  depend  on  morbific^ 
ferments.  It  has  also  been  used  in  pleuro-pneumonia, 
in  synovitis , white  swelling , adenoma , bubo , fibroma,  etc. 
It  has  afforded  great  relief  in  acute  rheumatism , in 
chronic  rheumatism , myalgia , superficial  neuralgia,  etc. 

CHLORAL  HYDRATE  causes  much  local  irritation  and 
pain  when  injected  under  the  skin — so  much  so  that  its 
use  is  restricted  to  cases  in  which  the  stomach  cannot 
bear  the  remedy,  or  where  the  patient  is  unable  or 
unwilling  to  swallow.  It  has  proved  useful  in  poisoning 
by  strychnine,  uncontrollable  vomiting , obstinate  hiccough , 
in  violent  cholera  morbus , and  in  true  cholera.  In  the 
latter  Prof.  Bartholow  had  the  best  results  from  its  use. 
It  has  also  proved  beneficial  in  asthma  and  other  neuroses 
of  the  chest,  but  care  must  be  exercised  lest  a fatal  result 
is  produced  by  paralysis  of  a weak  heart.

CHLOROFORM  is  not  adapted  for  ordinary  hypodermic 
use,  but  has  been  used  with  great  success  in  many  cases 
of  obstinate  neuralgia , sciaticti,  etc.,  by  a deep  injection, 
by  Prof.  Bartholow.  For  details,  see  his  work  on  “ Hypo- 
dermatic Medication,”  fourth  edition,  1882,  p.  288,  etc. 

COCAINE  is  principally  used  subcutaneously  for  producing 
local  anaesthesia  in  minor  surgical  operations,  etc.  For 
this  purpose  it  is  injected  into  the  areolar  tissue  as  near 
to  the  seat  of  operation  as  possible.  Also  injected  into 
the  gum  for  drawing  teeth.  Recently  Bignon  found  that 
animals  poisoned  by  strychnine  can  be  saved  by  the 
hypodermic  injection  of  cocaine  pushed  to  the  point  of 
delirium,  and  the  elfect  maintained  for  some  time.  He 
found  they  could  be  saved  by  this  means  even  after  the 
occurrence  of  tetanic  spasms.  See  Medical  News , De- 
cember 25th,  1886. 

CODEINE  may  be  used  hypodermically  as  a substitute 
for  morphine,  but  has  no  advantages  except  where  a 
special  hypnotic  action  is  desired,  as  in  mama,  hypo- 
chondria, and  delirium  tremens.  It  has  proved  of  great 
use  in  diabetes. 

CONINE  has  been  used  in  asthma , emphysema , angina  pec- 
toris, tetanus , and  in  acute  mania. 

CURARINE  or  WOORARINE  has  been  used  in  tetanus 
with  some  success.  It  has  also  been  used  in  epilepsy  and 
in  hydrophobia  with  reported  success. 

DUBOISINE  maybe  substituted  for  atropine  in  all  diseases 
where  the  latter  is  now  used.  Prof.  Bartholow  is  of 
opinion  that  it  is  to  be  preferred  to  atropine,  and  gives 
it  as  his  experience  that  it  is  much  more  effective  in 
psychical  disorders. 

ERGOT  hypodermically  is  available  for  hemorrhages  in 
general;  especially  useful  in  haemoptysis,  subinvolution 
of  the  uterus,  chronic  metritis,  intramural  fibroids,  polypi 
and  hydatid  mole  of  uterus,  hypertrophied  prostate,  vari- 
cocele, aneurism,  varicose  veins,enlarged  spleen,  leukaemia, 
exophthalmic  goitre,  acute  affections  of  the  meninges  of 
the  brain  and  spinal  cord,  cerebro-spinal  meningitis , con- 
gestive form  of  migraine  and  headache,  sunstroke,  tic  dou- 
loureux, hemicrania,  and  sometimes  in  sciatica. 

In  all  these  various  diseases.  Ergot  has  been  used  hypo- 
dermically either  in  the  form  of  Fluid  Extract  or  tablets 
of  Ergotin.  To  both  of  these  there  are  objections.  The 
Fluid  Extract  as  ordinarily  prepared  contains  much  inert 
and  irritating  extractive,  and  this  in  the  comparatively 
large  dose  required  is  apt  to  cause  pain  and  local  irri- 
tation. The  Ergotin  Tablets  cannot  be  made  stronger 
than  1-10  gr.  if  they  are  to  be  readily  soluble,  and  this 
amount  is  too  small  to  produce  enough  therapeutic 
effect.  These  objections  have  been  altogether  overcome 
by  Ergotole,  our  new  preparation  of  Ergot  of  Rye 
specially  made  for  hypodermic  use  by  a new  process; 
representing  all  the  active  principles  of  Ergot  in  a very 
concentrated  form,  and  entirely  free  from  all  inert  and 
irritating  constituents. 


132  HYPODERMIC  MEDICATION. 


ERGOTOLE  used  hypodermically  causes  neither  pain  nor 
abscess,  and  keeps  perfectly  without  precipitation  for 
any  length  of  time.  Tt  has  -been  extensively  tried  in 
hospital  and  private  practice,  hypodermically  and  ad- 
ministered by  the  mouth,  proving  uniformly  efficacious, 
and  it  has  been  pronounced  the  most  efficient  preparation 
of  Ergot  in  use. 

Each  minim  will  produce  the  full  therapeutic  effects 
of  about  2 % grains  of  the  best  Spanish  Ergot. 

Dose,  5 to  20  minims  hypodermically. 

(See  page  180.) 


ESERINE  or  PHYSOSTIGMI^E  has  been  of  great 
utility  in  tetanus , the  proportion  of  recoveries  to  deaths 
being  one-half.  It  should  be  given  hypodermically  and 
in  quantities  sufficient  to  keep  the  spasms  in  check,  and 
sufficient  nourishment  must  be  given.  It  has  also  been 
used  in  hydrophobia , in  bronchitis , pulmonary  congestion 
and  pneumonia. 


ETHER  may  be  employed  subcutaneously  with  great  ad- 
vantage in  cases  of  sudden  depression  of  the  powers  of 
life,  as  in  the  bites  of  venomous  snakes , surgical  shock , 
Asiatic  cholera , the  passage  of  biliary  or  renal  calculi ; in 
the  action  of  arterial  sedatives,  as  aconite,  veratrum 
viride.  etc.  Also  in  cardiac  failure  from  hemorrhage.  It 
has  proved  of  great  benefit  in  cases  of  severe  adynamic 
pneumonia , and  in  variola  It  should  never  be  used  in 
the  chloroform  narcosis.  Whiskey  or  brandy  may  be 
used  hypodermically  in  cases  of  sudden  depression  of 
the  powers  of  life,  but  not  in  the  chloroform  narcosis. 
They  are  more  likely  to  be  conveniently  at  hand  in 
sudden  emergencies  than  ether,  but  are  more  apt  to  be 
followed  by  local  inflammation  and  abscess. 


HYDROCYANIC  ACID  may  be  given  subcutaneously  with 
advantage  in  mental  disorders , gastralgia , nausea  and 
vomiting. 


HYOSCINE  (Merck’s)  is  derived  from  the  decomposition  of 
Hyoscyamine,  and  is  said  to  possess  the  sedative  and 
hypnotic  properties  of  Hyoscyamine  in  a much  higher 
degree,  and  may  be  used  in  its  stead.  Erb  (Centralblatt 
fur  die  ges.  Ther.),  January,  1888,  states  that  this  is  a 
powerful  hypnotic,  frequently  producing  immediate 
sleep  and  when  all  other  remedies  had  failed.  He  found 
it  especially  useful  in  irritable  conditions  of  the  motor 
system.  It  had  a decided  effect  in  the  tremor  of  paralysis 
agitans,  and  afforded  relief  in  cases  of  severe  and  obsti- 
nate spasm  of  single- or  groups  of  muscles. 


HYOSCYAMINE  is  of  high  value  in  mental  disorders , 
paralysis  agitans , chorea , mercurial  trembling , senile 
trembling , spasmodic  cough , laryngismus , hiccough. 


HYPODERMIC  MEDICATION.

MERCURY,  in  the  form  of  corrosive  chloride,  by  the 

hypodermic  method  is  used  in  syphilis , and  with  the 
greatest  advantage ; also  in  some  forms  of  chronic  Skin 
diseases.  Corrosive  chloride  of  mercury  generally  causes 
some  pain  when  used  subcutaneously,  but  with  a solution 
not  too  concentrated,  with  a clean  syringe  and  sharp 
cutting  needle  without  rust,  there  is  no  danger  of  an 
abscess. 

MORPH I1VE  alone  or  combined  with  Atropine  has  proved 
useful  in  diseases  of  the  brain  and  nervous  system , delirium 
tremens , cerebro-spinal  meningitis , sunstroke , hysteria , 
epilepsy , eclampsia , uraemic  convulsions , chorea , tetanus , 
hydrophobia , muscular  cramp  and  spasm , neuralgia.  Also 
in  asthma , emphysema , hiccough , acwie  inflammatory 
affections  of  the  respiratory  organs , angina  pectoris , dys- 
pepsia, schirrus,  cholera , vomiting  of  pregnancy , colic , 
peritonitis , affections  of  the  bladder  and  urethra , after- 
pains  in  childbirth , the  nocturnal  pains  in  acute  rheu- 
matism and  tertiary  syphilis ; in  certain  surgical  diseases , 
especially  fractures  and  dislocations , strangulated  hernia ; 
as  an  aid  to  chloroform  narcosis , and  in  poisoning  by  bella- 
donna or  atropine,  by  gelsemium,  and  by  veratrum  viride. 

As  Morphine  is  by  far  the  most  frequently  used  sub- 
cutaneously of  the  alkaloids,  and  its  range  of  usefulness 
is  very  large,  it  is  well  to  bear  in  mind  that  a larger  dose 
can  be  given  combined  with  atropine,  since  the  latter  is  a 
powerful  excitant  of  the  centre  of  respiration,  which  is 
depressed  by  large  doses  of  morphine,  and  a fatal  issue 
may  result  in  consequence  of  paralysis  of  this  centre. 
The  desirable  effects  of  morphine  are  increased  by  the 
addition  of  atropine,  while  the  toxic  effects  are  counter- 
acted. 

Should  toxic  symptoms  be  induced  by  the  use  of  mor- 
phine, they  should  be  met  with  a subcutaneous  injection 
of  atropine.  The  head  of  the  patient  should  be  low,  all 
restrictions  to  free  respiration  removed,  ammonia  placed 
to  the  nostrils.  Subsequently  caffeine  may  be  given 
hypodermically.  Artificial  respiration  and  the  faradic 
current  to  the  muscles  of  the  chest  may  be  used.  The 
injection  of  ammonia  into  the  veins,  and  the  inhalation 
of  amyl  nitrite  or  its  injection  subcutaneously,  have 
proved  of  benefit. 

NICOTINE  has  been  successful  in  tetanus.  About  one  half 
the  traumatic  cases  treated  with  it  recover.  The  officinal 
wine  of  tobacco  may  be  substituted  for  the  alkaloid. 

NITROGLYCERIN. — This  powerful  agent  gives  imme- 
diate relief  in  angina  pectoris , asthma , threatening  death 
in  chloroform  narcosis , all  cases  of  heart  failure , in  abort- 
ing incipient  chills,  cases  of  collapse,  surgical  shock, 
and  may  prove  of  great  benefit  in  threatening  gangrene 
of  the  extremities.  (See  our  special  circular  on  Nitro- 
glycerin.) 

Nitroglycerin  in  doses  of  1-50  gr.  hypodermically  has 
lately  been  successfully  used  in  poisoning  by  illumi- 
nating gas.  Four  moribund  cases  are  known  to  have  been 
quickly  relieved.  The  injection  should  be  repeated 
every  hour  or  two  until  an  impression  is  made  on  the 
pulse. 


134  HYPODERMIC  MEDICATION. 


PIIiOCARPIJVE  has  been  advantageously  used  in  mumps 
and  acute  affections  of  the  parotid , submaxillary  and  sub- 
lingual glands , acute  tonsilitis.  Has  afforded  relief  in  the 
metastasis  of  mumps,  obstinate  hiccough , hoarseness , bron- 
chitis, bronchorrhoea , asthma,  emphysema , cardiac  dropsy, 
dropsy  of  acute  albuminuria,  eclampsia,  effusion  into  cavi- 
ties. To  cut  short  an  ague  chill. 

It  may  be  administered  either  as  nitrate  or  muriate. 

Q,UINI]YE  has  been  used  subcutaneously  with  great  advan- 
tage in  pernicious  fever,  in  malarial  fevers  attended  with 
gastric  irritation,  in  chronic  malarial  poisoning,  to  abort 
recent  malarial  fevers ; combined  with  a small  dose  of 
morphine  it  has  proved  very  useful  in  typhoid  fever.  It 
has  also  been  used  very  successfully  in  India  in  the 
treatment  of  sunstroke.  Finally,  some  cases  of  neuralgia 
have  been  cured  by  its  means.  The  form  best  adapted  to 
hypodermic  use  is  the  quinma  bi-muriatica  carbamidata, 
which  produces  no  local  irritation.  (See  our  special  cir- 
cular on  Bimuriate  of  Quinine  and  Urea.) 


STRYCHNINE  injected  under  the  skin  has  proved  highly 
beneficial  in  the  treatment  of  paralysis,  especially  in 
hemiplegia,  paraplegia,  infantile  paralysis,  local  paraly- 
sis, progressive  muscular  atrophy,  progressive  locomotor 
ataxia,  facial  paralysis,  gastralgia,  cardiac  neuralgia , 
amaurosis,  amblyopia.  In  the  misty  vision  produced  by 
the  abusive  use  of  tobacco,  strychnine  has  been  found 
to  be  of  the  greatest  advantage  in  restoring  strength  to 
the  optic  nerve. 

Dr.  Echeverria  remarks : “ The  effects  of  strychnia  are 
widely  different  when  administered  hypodermically  or 
by  the  mouth.  A smaller  dose  exhibited  hypodermically 
may  be  capable  of  regenerating  at  once  the  lost  muscular 
power.” 

A Russian  physician  states  that  hypodermic  injections 
of  1-40  gr.  strychnine  given  at  intervals  of  24  hours  for 
8 or  10  days  consecutively  will  cure  alcoholism,  producing 
an  absolute  disgust  for  the  taste  or  smell  of  alcoholic 
liquids. 

Prof.  Thos.  J.  Mays,  in  a lecture  at  Philadelphia  Poly- 
clinic, recommends  strychnine  combined  with  atropine 
for  the  cure  of  asthma.  He  says : “ It  must  not  be  for- 
gotten, however,  that  a general  lowering  of  the  nerve 
tone  of  the  body  is  often  as  much  the  cause  of  disease  in 
other  organs  as  it  is  of  asthma  in  the  lungs,  and  hence  by 
invigorating  the  nervous  system  the  asthma  as  well  as 
its  concomitants  disappear.”  He  begins  by  injecting  1-50 
gr.  strychnine  and  1-150  gr.  atropine  daily,  gradually  in- 
creasing the  former  to  1-20  gr.  and  the  latter  to  1-100  gr. 
After  a thorough  impression  is  made  the  drugs  are  only 
injected  every  other  day,  and  then  gradually  abandoned. 
He  says : “ I have  been  using  it  daily  in  treating  asthma 
during  the  last  six  months,  and  I believe  with  more 
prompt  and  more  definite  results  than  can  be  obtained 
from  any  other  drugs.”— N.  Y.  Med.  Journ.,  April  12,  1890.

ANTISEPTIC  DISKS.  137

ANTISEPTIC  DISKS. 

(FOR  EXTERNAL  USE.) 

Convenient  for  quickly  making;  Solutions  of  Corrosive 
Sublimate  of  known  and  accurate  strength,  for 
Antiseptic  and  Disinfectant  Purposes. 


The  attention  of  the  medical  profession  is  called  to  these 
Compressed  Antiseptic  Disks,  each  composed  of  7.3  grains 
Corrosive  Sublimate  and  7.7  grains  Ammonium  Chloride, 
which,  when  dissolved  in  1 pint  of  water,  will  give  a solution 
of  1 part  Corrosive  Sublimate  to  1000  parts  water.  Sufficient 
green  coloring  matter  of  neutral  and  innocuous  properties 
is  added  to  render  them  distinctive  and  prevent  mistake. 
The  Ammonium  Chloride  is  added  to  facilitate  solution  and 
prevent  decomposition  of  the  Corrosive  Sublimate  when  dis- 
solved in  ordinary  well  or  spring  water.  Their  use  was  first 
suggested  by  Dr  , Charles  Meigs  Wilson,  in  the  Medical  News 
of  December  27th,  1884,  who  says : “ To  those  medical  men 
who  desire  to  use  this,  the  safest  and  best  antiseptic  agent, 
the  tablets  [disks]  will  prove  of  great  use  ; they  save  the 
carrying  about  of  bulky  solutions;  they  make  a solution 
which  is  mathematically  correct  as  to  its  strength ; they 
eliminate  an  element  of  danger,  because  the  physician  can 
carry  the  tablets  about  with  him,  making  and  using  the 
solution  when  required,  and  throwing  the  unused  portion 
away,  thus  avoiding  the  necessity  of  leaving  a dangerous 
poison  in  the  hands  of  irresponsible  and  ignorant  people,  or 
the  necessity  of  bringing  his  solution  at  each  visit ; they  will 
also  be  of  use  as  a means  of  preparing  disinfectant  solutions, 
as  a large  amount  of  disinfecting  material  can  be  obtained 
in  this  way  in  a compact  form.”

Solutions  of  any  desired  strength  can  be  made  by  varying 
the  number  of  disks  or  the  quantity  of  water.  Thus, 

1 disk  to  % pint  water  gives  a proportion  of  1 to  500. 

1 disk  to  1 pint  water,  1 to  1000. 

1 disk  to  1%  pints  water,  1 to  1500. 

1 disk  to  2 pints  water,  1 to  2000. 

It  is  generally  conceded  that  Corrosive  Sublimate  is  the 
most  efficient  and  powerful  germicide  known,  and,  when 
kept  convenient  in  this  portable  and  eligible  form,  many 
occasions  for  its  use  will  suggest  themselves.  The  accou- 
cheur will  find  them  indispensable,  both  during  childbirth 
and  in  the  puerperal  state.  The  general  practitioner  will 
use  them  for  disinfecting  the  stools  of  typhoid  fever,  the 
secretions  from  cases  of  diphtheria,  etc. 

They  are  put  up  in  bottles  of  25  each.

ALKALINE  AND  ANTISEPTIC 
TABLETS 

As  suggested  by  Dr.  CARL  SEILER. 

Each  tablet  containing  Sodium  Bicarbonate,  Sodium  Sali- 
cylate, Sodium  Biborate,  Sodium  Chloride,  Sodium  Benzo- 
ate, Thymol,  Menthol,  Eucalyptol,  Oil  Gaultheria. 

Useful  in  nasal  catarrh  and  inflamed  mucous  membranes, 
as  an  antiseptic  spray  and  mouth  wash.  For  nasal  applica- 
tions, dissolve  one  tablet  in  two  fluidounces  of  water,  and 
use  as  a spray  or  wash,  to  be  sniifed  up  the  nose  morning 
and  night. 

As  a mouth  wash,  use  a solution  of  the  same  strength,  and 
apply  with  a soft  tooth  brush,  or  rinse  the  mouth  thoroughly 
several  times  a day.  It  is  a valuable  antiseptic  and  deter- 
gent ; especially  in  stomatitis  and  retraction  of  the  gums,  it 
will  prove  an  excellent  remedy. 


TABLET  TRITURATES. 


146 


Tablet  Triturates. 


PREPARED  ACCORDING  TO  DR.  ROBT.  M.  FULLER’S  METHOD. 

(See  Medical  Record , March  9, 1878.) 

“An  easy,  economical  and  accurate  method  of  dispensing 
medicines  in  a compact  and  palatable  form.” 

These  tablets  consist  of  the  respective  medicinal  ingredient 
and  pure  Sugar  of  Milk , thoroughly  mixed  and  incorporated 
together  by  trituration. 

Only  the  purest  materials  are  used  in  their  manufacture. 

The  obvious  advantages  of  this  mode  of  dispensing  medicines 
are: 

The  thoroughness  of  the  subdivision  of  the  medicinal  ingre- 
dient attained  by  protracted  trituration  with  pure  Sugar  of 
Milk , and  the  consequent  accuracy  of  dose. 

The  ready  solubility  or  diffusibility  of  the  tablets  in  water 
and  in  the  fluids  of  the  stomach. 

The  elegance  of  this  form  of  tablet  and  the  convenience 
afforded  for  readily  and  accurately  dispensing  small  doses  of 
potent  remedies. 

The  usual  dose  of  Tablet  Triturates  is  one , repeated  as 
often  as  the  judgment  of  the  physician  deems  necessary. 

Special  formulae  made  to  order  in  lots  of  1000  or  more.

TONIC  HYPOPHOSPHITES. 

We  call  particular  attention  to  our  Syrup  Tonic  Hypo- 
phosphites,  prepared  according  to  the  formula:  Potas- 
sium Hypophosphite  IX  grains,  Iron  Hypophosphite  1 % 
grains,  Manganese  Hypophosphite  1 grain,  Calcium  Hy- 
pophosphite 1 grain,  Quinine  Hypophosphite  X grain, 
Strychnine  Hypophosphite  1-16  grain  in  each  fluidounce, 
of  which  1 to  2 teaspoonfuls  are  given  at  a dose.  This 
combination  has  proved  of  immense  value  in  the  hands 
of  practitioners  in  the  treatment  of  atonic  and  cachectic 
conditions,  as  in  the  tubercular  and  strumous  diatheses, 
in  general  debility  and  nervous  exhaustion ; in  fine,  as  a 
restorative  and  tonic  generally.  It  is  a true  constructive 
or  builder-up  of  the  blood,  enriching  and  purifying  it, 
and  rendering  it  suitable  for  nourishing  and  building  up 
healthy  tissues.  Hence  it  has  been  found  highly  useful 
in  the  debility  of  tubercular  phthisis  with  loss  of  appe- 
tite, night  sweats  and  general  emaciation  ; in  badly  nour- 
ished and  delicate  children ; in  rickets ; osteomalacia ; 
chlorosis  and  anaemia ; scrofulous  ulcerations ; tedious 
convalescence  from  adynamic  fevers  and  inflammations, 
as  typhoid  fever,  pneumonia,  etc.,  etc.  The  Strychnine 
acts  particularly  on  the  nervous  centres,  beside  stimu- 
lating the  appetite  and  digestion.  The  Quinine,  in  small 
doses,  is  a gentle  excitant  of  the  gastric  functions,  it  in- 
creases the  appetite  as  well  as  the  digestion.  Both  of 
these  agents  stimulate  all  the  functions  of  secretion  and 
excretion,  thus  directly  increasing  assimilation  and  tend- 
ing to  the  replacement  of  diseased  or  feeble  tissues  by 
healthy  normal  growth.  The  other  salts  of  this  prepara- 
tion are  all  normal  constituents  of  the  human  blood  and 
are  presented  for  absorption  in  a most  soluble  and  ac- 
ceptable form  as  Hypophosphites,  thus  affording  abun- 
dant material  for  increasing  the  red  corpuscles,  Avhich  are 
the  oxygen  carriers,  and  the  vitality  of  the  protoplasm 
of  the  leucocytes  or  germ  cells.  The  Phosphorus,  in- 
troduced into  the  system  as  hypophosphorous  acid,  also 
acts  an  essential  part  in  the  restoration  of  nerve  force 
and  tissue.  It  will  thus  be  seen  that  this  is  a truly 
scientific  combination  and  will  commend  itself  to  the 
notice  of  the  intelligent  physician.  No  precipitation  of 
any  of  the  ingredients  occurs  in  our  syrup ; they  are  so 
skillfully  combined  that  they  form  a harmonious  and 
stable  compound.

SACCHARATED  PEPSIN,  Strength  U.  S.  P.  1880. 

This  preparation,  so  favorably  known  as  a remedy  in 
some  forms  of  indigestion,  is  prepared  from  the  inner 
coating  of  the  stomach  of  the  hog,  without  the  application 
of  heat , and  is  diluted  with  sugar  of  milk  in  such  propor- 
tion that  1 grain  dissolved  in  % ounce  of  water,  with 
addition  of  5 drops  of  Muriatic  Acid,  will  dissolve  com- 
pletely 50  grains  of  coagulated  albumen,  previously 
pressed  through  a sieve  of  30  meshes,  at  a temperature  of 
100°  Fahrenheit,  in  5 to  6 hours.  Our  Saccharated  Pepsin 
is  uniform  in  strength,  without  any  unpleasant  odor  or 
taste,  and  can  be  relied  upon  to  produce  the  therapeutic 
effects  of  Pepsin  in  the  highest  degree. 

LIQUID  PEPSIN. 

Prepared  according  to  Scheffer’s  formula,  presenting  the 
Pepsin  in  its  most  efficient  form,  the  menstruum  being 
diluted  Glycerin  acidulated  with  Muriatic  Acid.  Dose,  1 
to  2 fluidrachms. 


LIME  JUICE  AND  PEPSIN. 

A solution  of  Pepsin  in  diluted  Lime  Juice,  representing 
16  grains  of  Saccharated  Pepsin  in  each  fluidounce.  This 
combination  of  Pepsin  with  Lime  Juice  forms  a most 
palatable  and  at  the  same  time  efficient  remedy  in  ordi- 
nary derangement  of  the  digestive  functions  and  the 
train  of  disorders  resulting  therefrom.  The  Lime  Juice 
in  this  preparation  does  not  only  greatly  increase  the 
efficacy  of  the  Pepsin,  but  it  is  itself  a grateful  refrigerant 
tonic  and  powerful  antiscorbutic.  Dose,  1 to  2 fluidrachms 
at  meal-times. 

We  also  prepare  the  following  stronger  Pepsins : 

CONCENTRATED  PEPSIN.  (Being  neutral,  it  requires 
addition  of  acid  to  dissolve  it  in  water.) 

Solvent  power,  1:500.  Dose,  1 to  5 grains. 


PURE  PEPSIN,  POWD.  (Pepsinum  purum,  pulvis).  (Being 
neutral,  it  requires  addition  of  acid  to  dissolve  it  in  water.) 
Solvent  power,  1:2000.  Dose,  X to  2 grains. 


PANCREATIN,  DIALYSED  IRON. 


173 


PURE  PEPSIN,  SCALES  (Pepsinum  purum  in  lamellis). 

It  will  keep  indefinitely  and  is  soluble  in  water.  Solvent 
power,  1:2000.  Dose,  X to  2 grains. 

These  Pepsins  will  dissolve  500  to  2000  times  respectively 
their  weight  of  coagulated  egg-albumen  by  the  test  of  the 
U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  or  of  the  National  Formulary. 

See  combinations  of  Pepsin  with  other  substances, 
under  heading  of  Elixirs,  Wines,  Pills,  &c. 


SACCHARATED  PANCBEATIN. 


Prepared  from  the  pancreas  of  the  pig,  and  powdered  with 
a certain  proportion  of  sugar  of  milk.  This  preparation  pos- 
sesses all  the  natural  digestive  properties  of  the  pancreatic 
juice,  converting  starch  into  glucose  and  dextrine  ; it  emul- 
sifies fats,  and  exerts  a modifying  influence  upon  the  pro- 
teids,  changing  them  into  peptones.  It  will  coagulate  the 
casein  of  milk.  It  is  especially  indicated  in  the  gastrointes- 
tinal diseases  of  infancy  and  childhood,  and  in  the  dyspepsia 
of  adult  life,  attended  by  the  formation  of  butyric  and  other 
acid  fermentations,  due  to  the  imperfect  digestion  of  starch 
and  fats.  Dose  for  adult,  5 to  15  grains  ; for  infants,  1 grain 
or  more,  according  to  age. 


DIALYSED  IRON; 

This  preparation  has  been  extensively  used  by  the  Medical 
Profession  as  a most  convenient  and  elegant  form  of  admin- 
istering Iron.  It  is  considered  preferable  to  the  other  prepa- 
rations of  Iron,  because  it  does  not  irritate  the  stomach  and 
bowels,  producing  neither  constipation  nor  diarrhoea,  so  apt 
to  follow  the  administration  of  other  ferruginous  com- 
pounds. It  is  devoid  of  styptic  taste,  and  does  not  blacken 
the  teeth.  The  dose  of  Dialysed  Iron  is  from  10  to  40  drops,  3 
times  a day,  in  wine  or  water.

OLEATES. 

' Since  the  introduction  of  Oleate  of  Mercury  to  the  Medical 
Profession , by  Dr.  John  Marshall  in  1872,  the  demand  for  other 
Oleates  has  rapidly  increased.  Oleates  are  much  cleaner , more 
efficient  and  elegant  preparations  than  ordinary  ointments. 
Whilst  the  latter  are  merely  mechanical  mixtures  of  fat  with 
Oxide  of  Mercury , or  with  some  other  remedial  agent , and  are 
wasteful  and  uncertain  in  their  action— much  of  the  insoluble 
remedy  remaining  on  the  surface  of  the  shin  after  the  fat  has 
been  absorbed— the  Oleates,  on  the  contrary,  are  chemical 
combinations  of  the  Alkaloid  or  Metal  with  Oleic  Acid,  pene- 
trating the  shin  more  readily,  and  every  molecule  of  the  Oleate 
is  absorbed,  carrying  with  it  its  definite  proportion  of  the  Al- 
kaloid or  other  active  ingredient  used,  effectually  reaching 
even  deep-seated  parts. 

The  term  Normal  Oleate  is  applied  in  this  List  to  the  un- 
diluted combinations. 

The  diluted  Oleates  ( Ointments  of  Oleates ) are  made  to  repre- 
sent the  most  desirable  strengths* 

ACONITINE  (Solution  of  Oleate),  containing  2 per  cent,  of 
ordinary  Alkaloid. 

ACONITINE  (Solution  of  Oleate),  containing  2 per  cent,  of 
Duquesnel’s  Aconitine. 

We  desire  to  draw  particular  attention  to  the  above  two 
Oleates  of  Aconitine.  The  former  is  made  from  the  Aconitine  of 
the  common  market,  whilst  the  latter  is  prepared  from  Duques- 
neVs  Aconitine.  The  latter  is  about  fourteen  times  stronger 
than  the  former,  which  accounts  for  the  difference  in  price. 
This  Oleate  should,  be  used  with  the  greatest  precaution  and  to 
a very  limited  extent.  It  should  be  carefully  applied  with  the 
end  of  the  cork. 

ALUMINIUM  (Normal  Oleate). 

ALUMINIUM  (Ointment  of  Oleate),  representing  50  per 
cent,  of  the  Normal  Oleate.

MERCURY  AND  MORPHINE  (Ointment  of  the  Oleates), 
representing  5 per  cent.  Mercuric  Oxide  and  2 per  cent. 
Morphine. 

For  many  purposes  Oleate  of  Mercury  is  improved  by  the 
addition  of  Morphine.  The  above  has  proven  to  be  a desirable 
proportion.  We  also  prepare  an  ointment  in  the  proportion 
of  20  per  cent,  of  Mercury  and  5 per  cent,  of  Morphine. 

MORPHINE  (Solution  of  Oleate), representing  2 percent,

COD  LIVER  OIL  PREPARATIONS. 


PURE  NORWEGIAN  COD  LIVER  OIL. 

Made  from  fresh  selected  livers  by  a careful  process— at 
a low  temperature— insuring  its  paleness,  sweetness  and 
freedom  from  unpleasant  flavor,  and  yet  retaining  all  the 
valuable  therapeutical  properties  of  this  agent.  Dose, 
for  an  adult,  1 tablespoonful  three  times  a day. 


AROMATIC  COD  LIVER  OIL. 

Consists  of  a pure  article  of  Norwegian  Cod  Liver  Oi] 
pleasantly  flavored  with  aromatics,  disguising  its  dis- 
agreeable odor  and  taste  almost  completely,  and  making 
it  rather  palatable. 


AROMATIC  COD  LIVER  OIL  WITH  HYPOPHOS- 
PHITES. 

Containing  5 grains  of  the  combined  Hypophosphites  of 
Calcium,  Sodium  and  Potassium  in  each  tablespoonful. 
In  this  preparation  we  offer  a compound,  the  ingredients 
of  which  are  so  favorably  known  as  remedies  in  pulmo- 
nary consumption  and  scrofula,  that  a statement  of  its 
accurate  composition  will,  no  doubt,  be  sufficient  to  re- 
commend it  to  the  medical  profession.  It  consists  of  a 
concentrated  solution  of  the  Hypophosphites  in  pure 
glycerin,  which  is  very  readily  and  completely  miscible 
with  the  oil  by  shaking  ; two  fluidounces  of  pure  glycerin 
in  each  pint  bottle  of  Cod  Liver  Oil  being  the  quantity  of 
this  ingredient  used.  This  preparation  is  pleasantly 
flavored  like  the  preceding  oil ; the  dose  for  an  adult 
being  a tablespoonful  three  times  a day,  shaking  the 
bottle  before  using. 


COD  LIVER  OIL  PREPARATIONS.  177 


AROMATIC  COD  LIVER  OIL  WITH  HYPOPHOS- 
PHITES  OF  CALCIUM  AND  SODIUM.  (Emulsion.) 

This  admirable  combination  of  agents,  which  we  have 
been  preparing  for  many  years,  is  specially  adapted  for 
all  forms  of  disease  of  adynamic  type,  as  tuberculosis, 
scrofula,  anaemia,  caries,  rickets,  Pott’s  disease,  etc. 
Phosphorus,  of  which  so  large  a percentage  enters  into 
the  composition  of  nerve  and  bone  tissues,  is  furnished 
in  a form  that  is  readily  assimilated  without  irritating 
the  stomach.  The  efficacy  of  Phosphorus  as  a stimulant 
and  regenerator  of  nerve  force  is  unquestioned.  In  com- 
bination with  Calcium  and  Sodium,  under  the  form  of 
Hypophosphites,  it  has  exhibited  peculiar  virtues  in 
building  up  the  system  in  the  diseases  above  mentioned. 
Dr.  Churchill,  after  a most  extended  experience  in  their 
use,  has  said  that  “ Phthisis,  when  not  treated  with  the 
Hypophosphites,  must  be  regarded  as  almost  always 
fatal ; whereas,  when  used  in  time , every  patient  may  be 
cured  by  their  use.”  He  further  adds  that  he  expects  to 
see  the  Hypophosphites  as  useful  and  efficacious  in  tuber- 
culosis as  quinine  in  malaria.  The  value  of  Cod  Liver  Oil 
as  a remedy  in  these  diseases  has  been  firmly  established 
by  the  clinical  experience  of  many  years.  In  our  prepa- 
ration they  are  combined  in  the  form  of  an  elegant  and 
perfect  emulsion.  Under  the  microscope  the  oil  globules 
will  be  discovered  of  very  minute  and  very  uniform  size, 
rendering  it  easy  of  digestion  and  assimilation.  This  is  of 
the  utmost  importance,  since,  in  diseases  of  low  type  and 
in  convalescence  from  most  diseases,  the  stomach  is  deli- 
cate and  weak,  and  substances  imperfectly  prepared  and 
therefore  difficult  of  digestion,  do  harm  instead  of  good, 
by  becoming  sources  of  irritation.  10  grains  of  the  com- 
bined Hypophosphites  of  Calcium  and  Sodium  are  con- 
tained in  each  fluidounce ; they  are  not  simply  suspended 
in  the  emulsion,  but  are  dissolved  in  the  menstruum  of 
which  40  percent,  consists  of  the  purest  Norwegian  Cod 
Liver  Oil.  Dose,  for  an  adult,  one  tablespoonful  three 
times  a day ; for  children,  % to  1 or  2 teaspoonfuls,  accord- 
ing to  age. 


AROMATIC  COD  LIVER  OIL  WITH  LACTO-PHOS- 
PHATE  OF  CALCIUM.  (Emulsion.) 

A combination  of  Lacto-Phosphate  of  Calcium  with  pure 
Norwegian  Cod  Liver  Oil  in  the  form  of  a pleasantly 
flavored  emulsion.  Each  fluidounce  contains  8 grains  of 
Lacto-Phosphate  of  Calcium.  Highly  recommended  as  a 
remedy  in  consumption,  coughs,  bronchitis  and  other 
pulmonary  and  scrofulous  affections.  Dose,  for  an  adult, 
1 to  2 dessertspoonfuls  three  times  a day,  after  meals  ; 
children,  X to  1 teaspoonful,  according  to  age. 


AROMATIC  COD  LIVER  OIL  WITH  PHOSPHATE  OF 
CALCIUM.  (Emulsion.) 

Consists  of  pure  Norwegian  Cod  Liver  Oil  combined  with 
freshly  precipitated  Phosphate  of  Calcium,  in  the  pro- 
portion of  20  grains  of  the  latter  to  the  fluidounce  of 
emulsion.  Dose,  for  an  adult,  1 tablespoonful  three  times 
a day. 


GLYCERIN  SUPPOSITORIES. 


178 


GLYCERIN  SUPPOSITORIES. 


Containing  95  per  cent.  Pure  Glycerin. 

A HARMLESS  AND  CONVENIENT  APERIENT. 


The  universal  prevalence  of  constipation  among  all  classes 
and  all  ages  has  always  engaged  the  attention  of  the  physician 
in  seeking  for  a remedy  at  once  simple,  harmless  and  con- 
venient, yet  efficacious.  This  was  found  a few  years  ago  in 
the  use  of  1 or  2 teaspoonfuls  of  Glycerin  by  Enema.  It 
proved  quite  efficient  and  was  considered  a great  advance 
on  the  means  formerly  used,  yet  it  had  its  inconveniences. 
There  must  be  a bottle  of  glycerin  and  a syringe  with  which 
to  use  it.  The  Suppository,  containing  95  per  cent,  of  pure 
Glycerin,  entirely  overcomes  all  objections  and  inconveni- 
ences. Now  the  remedy  is  dry  and  compact,  is  easily  carried 
and  just  as  easily  used.  It  is  cleanly,  harmless  and  generally 
gives  an  adequate  evacuation  within  a short  period  of  time. 

From  the  long  continued  use  of  Glycerin  in  Gynaecology  it 
is  well  established  that  it  is  a slight  irritant  and  stimulant 
to  mucous  membranes,  withdrawing  an  abundant  flow  of 
thin  serosity  from  the  blood-vessels.  Hence,  when  intro- 
duced into  the  rectum  it  acts  by  softening  the  faecal  accu- 
mulation by  the  flow  of  serosity  and  exciting  a reflex  peris- 
talsis by  its  local  irritant  action. 

The  Suppository  will  be  found  to  act  much  more  thorough- 
ly if  allowed  to  remain  for  15  to  30  minutes,  by  resisting  the 
first  sensation  produced  by  its  presence.  To  produce  the 
desired  effect  it  is  not  necessary  that  the  entire  Suppository 
should  dissolve ; for  immediately  after  being  inserted  a flow 
of  pure  Glycerin  begins  from  the  Suppository,  and  this  at 
once  begins  to  produce  the  physiological  effect.  This  any 
one  can  demonstrate  by  suspending  a Suppository  in  a glass 
of  water,  when  the  exosmosis  of  Glycerin  will  be  observed 
in  a thick  stream. 


GLYCERIN  SUPPOSITORIES.  179 


Owing-  to  the  powerful  affinity  of  Glycerin  for  water  it  was 
found  to  be  necessary  to  protect  the  Suppositories  from  the 
air.  The  air-  and  water-tight  covering  of  Sharp  & Dohme’s 
Glycerin  Suppositories  will  prove  to  be  the  best  mode  for 
preserving  them  from  all  change  in  any  temperature.  The 
shape  of  the  Suppositories  is  that  of  a double  cone,  which 
experience  shows  to  be  the  most  useful. 

The  air-tight  covering  is  easily  removed  by  grasping  both 
ends  of  the  Suppository  with  the  fingers  and  giving  a slight 
twisting  and  pulling  motion. 

When  intended  for  small  children  or  infants,  the  Supposi- 
tory can  readily  be  cut  in  two  or  trimmed  to  any  size  desired. 


Physicians  will  please  specify  Sharp  Sc  Dohme's , or  S.  Sc  D.’s. 


180  ERGOTOLE. 


kftGOfOLk. 


A new  preparation  of  Ergot  of  Rye,  specially  made 
for  hypodermic  use,  by  a new  process  ; representing 
all  the  active  principles  of  Ergot  in  a very  concen- 
trated form,  and  entirely  freed  from  all  inert  and 
irritating  constituents. 


Used  hypodermically  it  causes  ifeither  pain  nor  abscess, 
and  keeps  perfectly  without  precipitation  for  any  length  of 
time.  It  has  been  extensively  tried  in  hospital  and  private 
practice,  hypodermically  and  administered  by  the  mouth, 
proving-  uniformly  efficacious,  and  it  has  been  pronounced 
the  most  efficient  preparation  of  Ergot  in  use,  one  minim 
representing  the  full  therapeutic  strength  of  about  2 % grains 
of  the  best  Spanish  Ergot. 

The  use  of  Ergot  in  practical  therapeusis,  especially  by 
hypodermic  injections,  having  been  largely  extended,  we 
have  for  some  time  been  desirous  of  providing  the  medical 
profession  with  an  efficient  and  reliable  preparation  which 
would  be  free  from  the  objections  which  inhere  in  even  the 
best  standard  preparations  of  Ergot  at  present  in  use. 

The  physiological  and  therapeutic  properties  of  Ergot, 
unlike  many  other  potent  drugs,  e.  g.  Belladonna,  Nux  Vom- 
ica, etc.,  do  not  reside  in  any  one  definite  alkaloid  or  fixed 
principle.  Ergot  is  a very  complex  organism,  and  its  most 
active  constituents  are  uncrystallizable.  Each  of  these, 
when  obtained  in  the  highest  attainable  state  of  purity, 
produces  some  one  of  the  special  and  characteristic  effects 
of  Ergot,  and  some  even  in  an  exaggerated  form.  But  they 
are  all  prone  to  decomposition  and  change  when  isolated 
and  kept  in  solution.  Hence  to  obtain  the  full  therapeutic 
effects  of  Ergot  a preparation  must  be  used  which  contains 
all  the  active  principles  in  the  natural  combination  as  we 
find  them  in  the  crude  drug. 


ERGOTOLE.  181 


In  the  new  preparation  which  we  now  have  the  pleasure 
of  presenting  to  the  profession  and  for  which  we  have 
adopted  the  name  “ ERGOTOLE,”  to  distinguish  it  from  all 
other  preparations  of  Ergot,  we  claim  to  have  fully  accom- 
plished this  object  as  the  result  of  several  years  of  careful 
study  and  of  laboratory  work.  It  contains  in  solution  all 
the  active  principles  of  Ergot  in  an  unchanged  condition, 
whilst  the  irritating  and  inert  constituents  have  been  elimi- 
nated from  it  by  our  new  special  method. 

“ Ergotole  ” thoroughly  represents  all  the  valuable  thera- 
peutic properties  of  Ergot  of  Rye  in  a very  concentrated 
form,  and  will  be  found  when  used  by  the  hypodermic 
method  bland  and  unirritating,  causing  no  more  pain  than 
any  ordinary  hypodermic  injection  (if  used  with  clean  asep- 
tic needles).  If  administered  by  the  mouth  it  will  prove  to 
be  divested  of  all  irritating  and  nauseating  properties  which 
are  so  objectionable  in  the  officinal  fluid  extract.  Finally  it 
will  be  found  to  keep  perfectly  without  precipitation  in  any 
climate  and  for  any  length  of  time,  with  the  absolute  preser- 
vation of  its  therapeutic  properties. 

Illustrative  of  this  fact  we  mention  that  we  have  just  re- 
ceived a report  from  an  eminent  physician  of  Baltimore, 
who  state&rthat  he  has  had  uniform  and  satisfactory  results 
in  over  fifty  cases  of  various  diseases.  These  results  were 
obtained  from  a supply  of  our  Ergotole  which  was  prepared 
in  April,  1888  (over  2 years  ago),  and  kept  in  a cork-stopped 
bottle  only  partially  filled. 

THERAPEUTIC  INDICATIONS.  The  great  majority  of 
therapeutists  claim  that  Ergot  is  a direct  stimulant  to  the 
vaso-motor  nerve  centres  and  increases  the  general  arterial 
pressure,  while  the  capillary  circulation  is  decreased.  Some 
authorities  still  believe  that  it  acts  peripherally  upon  the 
muscular  coats  of  vessels  and  the  nerves  connected  with 
them.  In  either  view  of  its  physiological  action  the  thera- 
peutic indications  for  its  use  are  the  same. 

Prof.  Roberts  Bartholow,  in  his  work  on  Materia  Medica, 
states  that  it  has  been  used  with  great  success  in  acute 
dysentery  and  also  in  the  chronic  form  which  follows  the 
acute . It  has  proved  beneficial  in  chronic  diarrhoea. 

Dr.  W.  C.  Dabney,  of  Virginia,  urges  the  local  application 
of  Ergot  in  all  affections  of  the  mucous  membranes  character- 
ized by  enlarged  vessels,  such  as  conjunctivitis,  cervicitis, 
pharyngitis,  etc.  It  has  also  been  used  successfully  in 


182  ERGOTOLE. 


gonorrhoea  and  in  hyperaemic  affections  of  the  skin,  as  acme 
rosacea,  etc. 

It  has  been  injected  with  success  into  hemorrhoids,  and 
into  the  perineum  for  relaxation  of  the  sphincter  and  for 
prolapsus  of  the  rectum. 

It  is  undoubtedly  beneficial  in  cases  of  enlarged  heart  from 
dilatation  of  the  cavities  without  valvular  disease,  especially 
when  used  in  conjunction  with  digitalis.  Its  value  is  un- 
questioned in  the  treatment  of  aneurisms. 

In  obstetric  practice,  as  is  generally  known,  it  is  indicated 
when  the  parts  are  fully  dilated  and  the  pains  are  deficient 
or  weak,  and  when  post-partum  hemorrhage  is  threatened, 
and  it  is  best  administered  hypodermically. 

It  has  a wide  range  of  usefulness  in  diseases  of  females,  as 
sub-nnvolution,  congestive  dysmenorrhoea , chronic  metritis, etc. 

Probably  its  most  extensive  field  of  usefulness  outside  of 
obstetric  practice  is  in  the  various  hemorrhages  from  internal 
organs,  as  in  haemoptysis,  hcematuria,  etc.,  and  in  the  hemor- 
rhagic diathesis. 

When  vertigo,  epistaxis , headache  and  tinnitus  aurium  are 
due  to  miliary  aneurism , of  intracranial  arterioles , most 
favorable  results  are  to  be  expected  from  the  use  of  Ergot ; 
also  a sluggish  circulation  of  intracranial  veins,  usually  due 
to  chronic  arteritis,  and  accompanied  by  hebetude  of  mind, 
giddiness,  etc.,  is  benefited  by  its  use.  ( Bartholow .) 

The  use  of  Ergot,  especially  in  connection  with  the  bro- 
mides, has  been  more  successful  than  any  other  treatment 
in  epidemic  spinal  meningitis , congestion  of  the  meninges  and 
cord,  acute  myelitis,  etc. 

When  incontinence  of  urine,  both  nocturnal  and  diurnal,  is 
caused  by  paralysis  of  the  sphincter  vesicce , it  is  usually 
relieved  by  its  use.  So  also  spermatorrhoea  and  paralysis  of 
the  bladder  from  over-distention. 

Da  Costa  first  treated  cases  of  diabetes  insipidus  success- 
fully with  Ergot,  and  in  these  cases  the  remedy  must  be 
given  in  large  doses  and  continued  for  a long  time. 

Varicocele  has  been  cured  by  its  injection.  In  this  case 
the  hypodermic  needle  must  be  inserted  among  the  veins, 
taking  care  not  to  puncture  a vein.  Varicose  veins  in  other 
parts  have  also  been  relieved  by  inserting  the  needle  under 
the  skin  in  close  proximity  to  the  vein  and  injecting  the 
Ergot  so  as  to  lie  in  contact  with  but  not  to  enter  the  vein. 


ERGOTOLE.  183 


Dr.  J.  E.  Kelly  and  others  highly  laud  it  as  giving  immediate 
relief  in  the  first  stage  of  pulmonary  congestion , when  used 
hypodermically  (77.  S.  Dispensatory,  Ed.  1889). 

“Most  recently,  Surgeon-Major  Comerford,  of  India,  has 
been  using  the  fluid  extract  of  Ergot  with  marked  success 
in  the  first  stages  of  cholera  and  in  severe  diarrhoea.  The 
drug  was  used  hypodermically  in  ten-minim  doses.  In  every 
instance  its  use  was  followed  by  complete  success,  the 
diarrhoea  being  quickly  checked  and  collapse  averted. 
These  results  were,  however,  only  obtainable  during  the 
first  stages  of  the  disease.”  ( N . T.  Med.  Joiirn.,  Dec.  7th,  ’89.) 

It  will  be  found  that  Ergot  when  given  hypodermically 
will  produce  the  best  results  in  most  of  the  cases  where  its 
use  is  indicated. 

Dose  of  Ergotole.—  5 to  20  minims  hypodermically.  5 minims 
to  X fluidrachm  by  the  mouth. 

It  will  make  a perfectly  clear  mixture  with  water. 

Ergotole  is  put  up  in  1-oz.  bottles  only.  Never  sold  in  bulk. 


184  PAN-PEPTIC  TABLETS. 


PAN-PEPTIC  TABLETS. 

Pepsin,  Pancreatin,  Caffeine,  with  Acid  Lacto- 
Phosphate  of  Calcium,  and  Celery. 

AN  EFFICIENT  TONIC  DIGESTIVE  COMBINATION. 


We  Leg  leave  to  call  the  attention  of  physicians  to  our  new 
combination  of  the  digestive  ferments  with  Caffeine  and 
Celery,  which  has  proved  in  practice  to  be  a most  efficient 
and  prompt  remedy  in  many  cases  of  impaired  digestion  or 
Dyspepsia  and  its  concomitants,  slow  and  painful  digestion, 
heartburn,  foul  eructations  after  meals,  nausea,  acidity  and 
flatulence,  promptly  relieving  that  unpleasant  feeling  of 
fullness  and  oppression  so  commonly  experienced  after 
meals. 

Tt  is  now  unnecessary  to  dwell  upon  the  value  of  the 
digestive  ferments,  Pepsin  and  Pancreatin.  They  will  ac- 
complish the  primary  digestion  of  food  in  a glass  vessel ; how 
much  more  then  will  they  effect  in  the  human  stomach. 
This  fact  is  well  established  by  actual  experience. 

But  in  order  to  render  the  action  of  these  digestives  more 
permanent  the  addition  of  some  tonic  is  needed.  Practical 
test  and  observation  have  shown  that  Caffeine , as  a pure 
alkaloid,  is  the  best  available  tonic  for  combination  with  the 
digestive  ferments.  It  does  not  hinder  or  retard  their  action, 
as,  according  to  recent  investigations,  the  ordinary  bitter 
tonics  are  said  to  do,  but,  as  stated  in  the  National  Dispen- 
satory, it  exerts  a stimulant  action  not  only  on  the  nervous 
system  generally , hut  especially  upon  the  stomach  and  bowels ; 
“ there  can  he  no  doubt  that  it  quickens  gastric  digestion  and 
relieves  the  sense  of  plenitude  in  the  stomach , stimulates  the 
secretion  of  bile,  and  augments  the  peristaltic  action  of  the 
intestines , thereby  promoting  defecation 


PAN-PEPTIC  TABLETS.  185 


Prof.  Bartholow,  of  Philadelphia,  in  his  text-book  of  Ma- 
teria Medica,  7th  Ed.,  1890,  says  : Caffeine  is  a useful  stomachic 
tonic.  It  increases  the  appetite  and  the  digestive  power , and 
diminishes  the  tissue  waste. 

The  Acid  Lacto-phosphate  of  Calcium  also  contributes  to 
the  tonic  action  of  the  tablets  and  aids  to  build  up  the 
general  system  ; whilst  a small  quantity  of  that  refreshing 
aromatic  and  nerve  stimulant,  Celery,  imparts  a pleasant 
flavor  and  acts  as  an  appetizer. 

Pan-Peptic  Tablets  will  be  found  most  efficient  in  all 
forms  of  Indigestion  and  Dyspepsia  caused  by  a deficient 
secretion  of  gastric  juice.  Nausea , headache , indisposition 
to  mental  exertion,  dullness  of  spirits,  fullness  and  oppression 
about  the  stomach  will  yield  rapidly  to  a few  doses  ; especi- 
ally when  these  symptoms  and  others  are  brought  on  by 
excess  in  diet,  either  as  to  quantity  or  richness,  or  by  alcoholic 
indulgence,  will  these  tablets  prove  beneficial.  One  or  two 
tablets  taken  an  hour  before  meal-time,  instead  of  an  alco- 
holic stimulant,  will  produce  a keen  appetite  for  food. 

Each  tablet  contains  1 grain  pure  Pepsin,  1 grain  purePan- 
creatin,  % grain  pure  Caffeine,  with  Acid  Lacto-phosphate  of 
Calcium  and  Celery. 

Dose— One  or  two  tablets  immediately  after  eating  is  the 
usual  rule,  but  they  may  be  taken  at  any  time  when  feeling 
oppressed  about  the  stomach,  troubled  with  flatulence  or  in- 
clined to  headache.  For  children,  the  tablets  should  be 
crushed  and  one-fourth  to  one-half  given  in  water,  accord- 
ing to  age.

Poisons  and  Antidotes. 

From  the  Latest  Sources. 

^"Use  the  Stomach  Pump  at  once  whenever  poasible. 


Where  it  is  necessary  to  vomit , it  can  he  induced  most  quickly 
and  surely  by  injecting  hypodermically  Sharp  & Dohme's  Hypo- 
dermic Tablets  of  Apomorphine. 


Inorganic  Poisons. 

Acids. 

Acetic. 

Citric. 

Muriatic. 

Sulphuric. 


Antidotes. 

Carbonates  of  sodium,  potassium,  cal- 
cium, and  magnesium.  Avoid  giv- 
ing water  in  poisoning  by  sulphuric 
acid,  as  the  mixture  will  produce 
great  heat.  Treat  subsequent  in- 
flammation in  the  usual  way. 


Nitric. 

Oxalic. 


For  these  give  only  carbonate  of  lime, 
or  magnesia,  chalk,  whiting,  or  tea- 
spoonful of  air-slaked  lime. 


Prussic. 

Cherry  Laurel  Water. 
Nitrobenzole. 

Oil  of  Bitter  Almonds. 


Ammonia,  properly  diluted,  given  in- 
ternally and  by  the  hypodermic 
method.  Liquid  chlorine  by  the 
mouth  has  proved  useful.  Cold 
douche  to  the  head. 


Carbolic. 


There  is  no  special  antidote.  Give 
oil,  milk,  or  white  of  egg  freely ; 
best  done  by  introducing  and  with- 
drawing them  by  the  stomach  pump. 


Antimony. 
Butter  of  Antimony. 
Oxide  of  Antimony. 
Tartar  Emetic. 


Empty  stomach  as  quickly  as  possible 
by  large  draughts  of  tepid  fluids 
containing  or  followed  by  vegetable 
astringents,  as  green  tea,  nut  galls, 
tannic  acid,  etc.  The  sedative  effects 
are  counteracted  by  hypodermic  in- 
jection of  caffeine,  or  ether,  etc. 


Arsenic. 
White  Arsenic , or 
Arsenic  Acid. 
Yellow  Arsenic. 
Orpiment. 
Realgar. 

Scheele's  Green. 
Paris  Green. 
Fly-stone. 


Empty  stomach  by  hypodermic  injec- 
tion of  apomorphine,  then  admin- 
ister very  freely  the  hydrated  ses- 
quioxide  of  iron,  or  the  precipitated 
carbonate  mixed  with  water ; repeat 
every  five  minutes ; apply  hot  water 
to  extremities,  and  give  ammonia, 
brandy,  etc.,  against  the  depression. 


194  POISONS  AND  ANTIDOTES. 


Inorganic  Poisons. 

Chloral  Hydrate . 

Antidotes. 

Coffee  by  mouth,  or  caffeine  and  am- 
monia ; also,  strychnine  hypodermi- 
cally, as  the  physiological  antago- 
nist. 

Copper 

And  its  Salts. 
Blue-stone. 

Verdigris. 

The  green  of  pickles. 

Give  albumen  in  the  form  of  milk, 
white  of  eggs,  etc.,  freely.  Vinegar 
is  injurious.  Subsequent  symptoms 
must  be  treated  as  they  arise,  on 
general  principles. 

Creosote. 

Oil  or  albumen  freely  administered. 

Iodine. 

Give  at  once  wheat  flour,  starch,  etc., 
mixed  with  water.  An  insoluble 
compound  is  formed. 

Lead. 

Sugar  of  Lead. 

White  Lead , or 
Carbonate  of  Lead. 
Litharge. 

Goulard's  Extract. 

Sulphate  of  magnesium  largely  di- 
luted in  water,  followed  by  hypo- 
dermic injection  of  apomorphine; 
then  again  sulphate  of  magnesium 
to  purge  away  any  remains  of  the 
poison.  Pain  must  be  met  by  hypo- 
dermic use  of  morphine  with  atro- 
pine. Strychnine  subcutaneously  is 
beneficial  if  paralysis  ensues. 

Mercury. 

White  and  Red  Pre- 
cipitate. 

Corrosive  Sublimate. 
Vermilion. 

Albumen,  as  white  of  eggs,  milk, 
wheat  flour,  etc.,  given  freely ; also 
a mixture  of  7 parts  powder  of  iron 
with  4 parts  flowers  of  sulphur  has 
been  recommended. 

Silver. 

Lunar  Caustic. 

Common  salt  freely  given. 

Zinc. 

Acetate. 

Sulphate , or 

White  Vitriol. 

Copious  use  of  warm  water  to  relieve 
vomiting.  Solution  of  carbonate  of 
sodium  will  decompose  the  sul- 
phate. Milk  and  white  of  eggs. 

Phosphorus. 

Matches. 

Give  a hypodermic  of  apomorphine 
promptly ; -then  give  magnesia,  sus- 
pended in  water  freely ; also  mucila- 
ginous drinks.  Treat  inflammation 
as  usual.

Acronarcotic  and  Narcotic  Poisons. 

The  best  and  most  scientific  treatment  of  these  is  to 
administer  the  physiological  antagonist  hypodermically. 
Where  this  is  known  it  will  be  given  below.  Where  we  have 
no  physiological  antagonist,  vomiting  should  be  excited ; 
then  strong  coffee  should  be  given ; ammonia  and  ether 
hypodermically ; the  bowels  thoroughly  cleansed  by  copious 
injections  of  soap  and  water.  The  electric  battery  is  often 
useful,  and  artificial  respiration  has  often  saved  life. 

Poisons. 

Aconite. 

Physiological  Antagonist. 

Atropine  hypodermically,  and  treat 
on  general  principles. 

Belladonna  and 
Atropine.

on  general  principles. 

Bloodroot. 

Physiological  antagonist  not  known, 
but  as  it  acts  depressingly  on  the 
spinal  cord,  &c.,  atropine  may  prove 
of  benefit. 

Calabar  Bean  and 
Physostigmine. 

Atropine. 

Cocculus  Indicus. 
Picrotoxin. 

Physiological  antagonist  not  known. 
Treat  on  general  principles  as  above.

196  POISONS  AND  ANTIDOTES. 

Poisons. 

Physiological  Antagonist. 

Nux  Vomica. 
Strychnia. 

Chloral  hydrate  subcutaneously  until 
symptoms  cease.  Bignon  has  lately 
stated  that  he  has  saved  animals 
poisoned  by  strychnine,  even  after 
tetanic  spasms,  by  injecting  cocaine 
hypodermically  until  delirium  set 
in. 

Opium  and  Morphine. 

Atropine. 

Poison  Oak. 

No  antagonist  known,  but  fluid  ex- 
tract of  gelsemium  internally,  and 
largely  diluted  applied  to  eruption, 
is  said  to  be  beneficial.  Treat  on 
general  principles. 

Stramonium. 

Morphine  hypodermically. 

Tobacco  and  Nicotine. 

Evacuate  the  poison;  subsequently 
stimulants. 

Veratrum  Viride. 

Diffusible  stimulants ; alcohol  hypo- 
dermically, and  by  rectum  if 
stomach  will  not  retain  it. 

Table  for  Adjusting  Doses  to  age. 

While  giving  a general  guide,  it  is  well  to  state  that  no 
accurate  table  can  be  formed.  The  following  is  approximate. 
Children  are  more  susceptible  to  the  action  of  Morphine  than 
adults,  while  they  are  less  so  to  Belladonna.  Representing 
the  ordinary  average  dose  of  the  adult  at  1,  the  doses  for 
children  of  different  ages  are : 

1 to  3 months . . 

1-16 

4 to  12  “ .. 

1-10 

1 to  3 years  — 

1-6 

4 to  5 “ .... 

1-4 

6 to  8 “ . .. 

1-3 

9 to  12  “ .... 

1-2 

13  to  18  “ .... 

3-4 

After  60  years  of  age  a gradual  diminution  of  the  dose  will 

again  be  required
